After BaconReader shut down, my reddit usage plummeted to near 0. Only used it the last few days to Google interview questions from my desktop.

I deleted my 11 year old account today, don't want to be a part of that community anymore.
Including me
Dumb question. I've been off reddit and here for about a month. Today 7-2 I opened my boost app and infinity app and noticed new posts. I thought all the api apps were shutting down 6-30?
Infinity's dev said the app would still be usable for sometimes until a new update pass it into a subscription plan.

I couldn’t get use to Narwal and the official app wasn’t it. The ads weren’t as bad as the subreddits it kept recommending. It was too cluttered. Also I wasn’t aware how many things were Apollo only. Gif scrubbing seems like such a common sense thing.
Been on reddit for nearly 8 years (baconreader only), tragic really but it's been pushed into a direction I don't want to be involved with. Did the same with Facebook and haven't been back.
It'll go the same way other platforms have done before. Acting like they are irreplaceable when they are anything but.
Looking forward to being here and contributing to a growing community, get a good felling about here!
Reddit? Now here's a blast from the past! Is that thing still around? I've not been there since Sync died.
"Some"??
In a way, I feel more free now - had an 11 year old reddit account and used Alien blue, then Apollo. I got so stagnant in consuming media that I ended up not contributing since everything I would’ve said had already been posted. But seeing the smaller growing communities across Lemmy makes me excited to actually contribute
Switch to lemmy and wefwef :)
Good for them, and I am one of them :3
